Who is Pio Health? 

At Pio Health, we are committed to helping patients lead fulfilling and opioid-free lives. We assist patients in getting treatment confidentially and from the comfort of their own homes. 

Pio Health is not a medical group or a health care provider. Pio Health provides its users with the ability to obtain a telemedicine consultation provided by independent medical practitioners, including, but not limited to, DrgMedicine / DrgMed (“Medical Group”), an independent medical group with a network of United States based health care providers (each, a “Provider”). Medical Group (or your own medical provider if you do not use a Medical Group Provider) is responsible for providing you with a Notice of Privacy Practices describing its collection and use of your health information, not Pio Health.
